Five minute ago, you were fourteen, sitting on the bathroom floor with weeping wounds wondering how the fucknyou were going to survive.

Four minutes ago, you confessed to your mother that you in fact were not okay. You hadn’t seen her cry so much

Three minutes ago, you celebrated your 17th birthday, laughing loudly as you blew out the candles on your cake.

Two minutes ago, you went to church for the first time in years. And thanked God, that you were still alive.

I got to see all of this because the world didn’t end when I was 13,14,16 and 17

Stela of the Royal Scribe Ipy

New Kingdom, late 18th Dynasty, ca. 1332-1323 BC. From Saqqara necropolis. Now in the State Hermitage Museum. ДВ-1072

This stela of Ipy, who held the titles “fan-bearer on the right hand [of the king]”, “royal scribe”, and “great overseer of the royal household”, carries a depiction of its owner making offering to Anubis, the embalmer deity, who is seated at the offering table. The introduction of this subject is an extremely important characteristic of the era.

In earlier times, depictions of deities in private tombs occurred only sporadically, while in the reign of Tutankhamun such scenes of worship began to occupy a central place in them. In this way, people were apologizing to the gods for the abolition of their cults under the previous ruler, Akhenaten. Stylistically the stela is also characteristic of Tutankhamun’s time, when works were produced, especially in the Memphite region, that were marked by the exceptional delicacy and softness of the relief.
